That is a definite "You Suck" right there.Golf course next to work took down 5 hickory, 2 massive beech, a red oak, couple cherry, 2 dogwood and a bunch of tulip poplar. The only way to access it is from our property or drive across the course. Talked to the head grounds guy and he confirmed it's all MINE! Now to find more hours in my day...
Very nice trailer and Hall of wood . I guess you need to be careful as those logs are very heavy and will quickly exceed your axle ratings. I'm not the trailer load rating police, but the last thing you want to do is damage your new trailer. The wheels appear to have 5 lugs which normally indicates a 3500 pound axle. I'm surprised that it doesn't have at least 5000 pound axles and preferably 7000 pound axles. Personally I would have those people load those logs with their loader in a couple chains have them set them in your trailer that way all you have to do is dump them at your property.
Be safe and smart working with all that wood.
It should be fine, but I say that not knowing what the trailer, itself, weighs. That looks like a 9' trailer, maybe, and not full car-trailer width. I guess it doesn't weigh more than 5.5k, right there. I would guess that, even loaded with wet oak, it wouldn't be more than 7k on the axles. With 2'- 3" tall sides, even with wet oak, it's hard for me to get my 5x8 trailer to be more than 4k, and 3.5k on the axle.

I bought one 2 years ago . You Wil be saying " how did I do wood before?" Every time you dump. I added a winch to mine you can just see it above the woodView attachment 563849
Thanks! I bought that truck (1990 getrag, 4.10, with DMI hitch) with 100k on it, totally stock, for $2400. I ended up putting an add a leaf in the front and new spring packs in the rear, all new brakes and bearings, line-x, and put pretty much totally new floors in it. I kept it close to stock, but put a pyro in it and put like 3/4 turn on the full power screw, turned the stock fuel pin around, and like 1/2 turn on the smoke screw. That stuff made it at least now SLOW like it was stock. Put like 30k on it in the 2.5 years I had it, and sold it for $8k. Bought my '02 Chevy K2500HD ECLB 6.0 NV4500 135k mi. for $6500, which needed a tcase and brake lines, and haven't looked back. It's SOOO much better truck, all around! Higher GVW, way more stable towing, better frame, WAY better (hydroboost) brakes, abs, quiet, working air, rides much better (longer leaf springs rear, ifs front), way better seats, easier to work on, parts in stock and cheap everywhere, no messing with diesel additives, looking for truck stops to get dry/fresh diesel, and the list goes on and on and on...Nice first gen Cummins!!!
